the half-life of isotope X is 2.0 years. How many years would it take for a 4.0mg sample of X to decay and have only 0.50 mg of it remain

Answers

Answer 1

After 2.0 years, the 4.0 mg sample decays to 2.0 mg.

After another 2.0 years (total 4.0 years), the 2.0 mg sample decays to 1.0 mg.

And after another 2.0 years (total 6.0 years), the 1.0 mg sample decays to 0.50 mg.

So it takes 6.0 years for 4.0 mg to decay to 0.50 mg.

Answer 2

It takes for a 4.0 mg sample of X to decay and have only 0.50 mg of it remain is 6 years.

What is half-life?

It is the continuous disintegration of the matter by the emission of highly penetrating radiation associated with the nucleus.

Given

The half-life of isotope X is 2.0 years.

How to find the years would it take for a 4.0 mg sample of X to decay and have only 0.50 mg?

The half-life of isotope X is 2.0 years.

            Mass                                                 Time period

           4.0 mg                                                       0

           2.0 mg                                                       2

            1.0 mg                                                       4

           0.5 mg                                                       6

Thus, 6 years would it take for a 4.0 mg sample of X to decay and have only 0.50 mg of it remain.

6/4 as a whole number or a mixed nimber

Answers

Answer: 1 2/6 which needs to be simplify which is 1 1/3.

We can see here that 6/4 as a mixed number is =  1 (1/2).

What is mixed number?

A mixed number is a representation of a number that includes both a whole number and a fraction. It consists of an integer part and a fractional part. The integer part represents a whole number, while the fractional part represents a proper fraction.

To express 6/4 as a mixed number, you divide the numerator (6) by the denominator (4) and express the remainder as a fraction with the same denominator. In this case, 6 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 2. So, 6/4 can be written as the mixed number 1 (2/4), which can be simplified to 1 (1/2).

11,679
13,740
20,610
23,900

Answers

Answer:

11679

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased by 229

First you need to find the 2%

So to find the 2%

2/100 * 11450=229

Now add 11450+229= 11679

Answer:

11,679

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off making the 2% into a decimal so you can multiply it with the full amount of applications for the year before. 2% in decimal is .02 because you move the decimal twice to the left. Now that you have .02, multiply it by 11,450. (11,450)*(.02) which should be 279. Now you have to add the 279 to the 11,450 because they were admitted as well. (11,450+279)= 11,679

"and six" relates to "sum".

So when you put these together it would be 5x+6=3

5(x+6)=3.
You need the sum first. So the number and 6 need to go in the parenthesis. Then put the 5 outside of the parentheses like the question asks. It says five times the sum so after the sum you need to multiply by 5.

Jose is driving to Denver. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of his driving time (in
minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below.
Jose has 48 miles remaining after 50 minutes of driving. How many miles were remaining after 34 minutes of driving?

Answers

Answer:

  63.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given slope and point can let us use the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

  y = m(x -x1) +y1

  y = -0.95(x -50) +48

We want to find the value of y for x=34.

  y = -0.95(34 -50) +48 = 63.2

Jose had 63.2 miles remaining after driving 34 minutes.

Answer: 8 7/9 + 4 1/8 = 929 /72  = 12 65/72  ≅ 12.9027778

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 8 7

9

to a improper fraction: 8 7/9 = 8 7

9

= 8 · 9 + 7

9

= 72 + 7

9

= 79

9

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 8 by the denominator 9. Whole number 8 equally 8 * 9

9

= 72

9

b) Add the answer from previous step 72 to the numerator 7. New numerator is 72 + 7 = 79

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 79) over the denominator 9.

Eight and seven ninths is seventy-nine ninths

Conversion a mixed number 4 1

= 32 + 1

8

= 33

8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 8. Whole number 4 equally 4 * 8

8

= 32

8

b) Add the answer from previous step 32 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 32 + 1 = 33

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 33) over the denominator 8.

Four and one eighth is thirty-three eighths

Add: 79

9

+ (33

9

8

= 79 · 8

9 · 8

+ 33 · 9

8 · 9

= 632

72

+ 297

72

= 632 + 297

72

= 929

72

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(9, 8) = 72. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 8 = 72. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - seventy-nine ninths plus thirty-three eighths = nine hundred twenty-nine seventy-seconds.
